Mega Man Zero Collection OST - T2-03: Departure (Sand Wilderness - Opening Stage)

[@MegaBomberZX]

I love the attention to detail on how the pause menu UI at the very beginning of the game is the same as in Z1 but what’s even more interesting is that you can see how the menu itself is all cracked and rusted and an entire Sub menu is missing, reflecting Zero’s disrepair.

[@lambda494]

damn never noticed that. amazing

[@meepomeep962]

Shaa

[@stevengondosiswanto4732]

I'm glad that someone actually notice that. Yeah, it was some great details in this game.

[@Zakuzelo]

In particular the elf menu is busted and gone. Zero 2 pulled a Metroid and gave an actual reason for you losing all your powers from the previous game.

[@TheRealBlazingDiamond]

the mgs series does this too, which is super cool. MGS2 has Snake using a different game over screen extremely similar to that of MGS1, but Raiden has his own. also, MGR has Raiden using MGS4's UI at first, but when he gets his new body, he gets a new one. I live for details like this

One of the most BADASS openings in gaming history, bar none. God Bless Inti Creates and Capcom for letting these boys shine.

[@13gamerbullet]

So, to get the S rank, we need to shoot the enemies until Zero says, "This isn't fun anymore." Next, we jump over to a platform and slice a guy, leap OVER the next guy, turn around and slice him, climb a wall, *whoa what the heck is that?* Jump up, slice the top half, it'll stop, slice the unguarded bit, it dies. If it didn't; slice the top bit again. Dash forward, but holy crap slice the surprise off the side of the screen because we all know that isn't an ambush when we've seen it three to six times now. Great. Mario-Style Platforming, and one of those ambushing spikeweeds is lurking on every platform. Slice carefully not to take damage, and *IT'S YOU!* To get the TIME to its max, you gotta Z-Saber the Golem 4 times in a row. Wait for its attack, and when it *isn't attacking,* go in close and slice it. If you miss, wait for another opportunity, because we've all gotten hasty, and we know that the Golem's hitbox gets bigger for some odd reason when it's attacking. Four slices of nice positioning and good dodging later, you've cut the Golem in effective time. Practically repeat the ENTIRE process, but the platforms are freaking harder than before! Another one?! And there's a HOLE there! Daredevils will wall jump to avoid lasers, otherwise getting those 4 slices is going to be HARD. But you know what? We pulled it off. We gotta jump on crumbling platforms now, and do LEAPING DASH SLASHES to the vultures eating the dead bodies that can still hurt you! Missed one? SLICE IT IN MIDAIR. *AWESOME.* Hey look, a cyber-elf **Slaps self in the face** Gotta go fast. ...Another "!" event. Another Golem? No, it's an army! I CAN TAKE IT! But a giant heated D appears from behind me! It conveniently destroys the army! No Way! An ancient robot! I thought I blew it up five times! No matter, I can take it! When it's D shaped pincer comes off it stops moving... and it has to wait... wait... Where'd the first one come from and where'd it go?!?! UGH! This boss has SO many openings, it's kinda sad. But don't trip up here!! That'd be awful!! ALRIGHT!!! *YEAH!!!* We got the *S-RANK!!* ...That was the introduction stage... L...Like a... tutorial... Oh my g-

Dude! You nearly described what I just did. I just played this then had to look the song up on youtube.

[@13gamerbullet]

AfterYouKnowMe I posted this comment right after an S-Rank run. Mine was an emulator, so I had savestates to quicken the learning/memorization process, but the fact that I could spew out every single thing on the stage made me both sad and amazed. The worst part is; that's only a fourth of the battle, you need the skills to not succumb to any of the said problems.

Actually, Megaman ZX Advent is my favorite Megaman game of all time. I'm not just an angry guy who only likes old things, I promise. In fact, with more thought, I don't feel like the two tracks in question are easy to compare. They both set their tones perfectly, but I feel like this one is intended to convey hopelessly. A feeling of loss, but also numbness to it, like it's been felt for far too long now. Obviously the track from MM2 was as simple as, "Let's rock! Let's get the bad guy! It's been difficult, but of course we're not stopping now!" TL;DR - Both songs are very good, I think, but the tones are too different for them to be compared and just say one's better or worse.
